People will say "I'd be a better person if only I were rich!", but predictably, the number of rich people willing to do those things is almost a rounding error.

My diverse opinion: "this is much closer to the future that humanity deserves, the AI and surveillance dystopia we have been so intent on getting."
The data are unequivocal that liberal democracy, civil rights, and economic freedom lift people out of poverty, but this message is toxic in many parts of the world, and thus many countries live in unnecessary poverty, dependent upon donations from rich countries that follow the straightforwards, simple advice to be well off.
Debating how much better things would be with better governments doesn't change that.
"entertain the possibility that you’re wrong" I would absolutely love for the world to prove me wrong.
